dc.description.abstractThis research references two articles that provide theoretical and empirical evidence that counters female entrepreneurship stereotypes and taboos. The first paper tests three gender-stereotypical assumptions prevalent in the entrepreneurship literature: the female gender decreases the propensity for entrepreneurship, women are less willing to enter high-growth industries, and women's valuation of entrepreneurial skills reduces their likelihood of entrepreneurship. A multivariate probit model to test these assumptions was implemented using Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data for eight countries in the period 2009–2016. The findings show that the female gender does not decrease the probability of being an entrepreneur and that perceived entrepreneurial skills influence the entrepreneurial propensity of men and women equally. The results indicate that the female gender reduces the likelihood of entrepreneurship in a high-growth industry. The second article discusses the influence of entrepreneurship on the empowerment and emancipation of female entrepreneurs in the Global South countries. Using the World Values Survey, this study provides empirical evidence of how entrepreneurship affects women's empowerment and emancipation differently depending on the Global South country and compared with other occupational choices, such as full-time employees and homemakers. Our study includes provocative implications in a discussion about gender dynamics, and the most vulnerable women enrolled in entrepreneurial activities in hostile/fragile institutional contexts.es
